The 1012 Mega-Raptor (also known as a MiniStar due to its large troop and weapons capability) is the central Ultra-Combat Fighter for the main Heavy Defense Corps. of the Imperial Defense Fleet. The 1012 was one of the 1st Imperial Colonial support ships to be outfitted with a fully intergrated Cylon Hybrid QuantumJump Core.

This allowed for the Raptor to have all or more of the possible maneuverability equal to that of a fully powered WarStar

The 1012 Mega-Raptor primarly acts a mass troop transport and similar to the WarStar itself an Heavy Fighter Combat support/defense unit, also it can be used as an front line Heavy Impact Cruiser. While the 1012-Series is primarily placed on board NovaStars the Mega-Raptor can also be docked into a basic WarStar in emergency situations.
